The most gay thing in skiing: people (including pros) thinking that they are old at 25 and starting to gravitate towards pow skiing acting like it's oh so cool to do turns when in reality they are just scared of hitting the park because of late onset hypogonadism...
Jesse_I don't like daffy butters or @Tophaloaf simply because the trick is ridiculously easy (learnt it in about 10 mins) and I find the hype surounding it as a godly trick kinda annoying.
Might just be me but I don't get how he has such a big following for spamming easy as shit tricks like daffy butters or jumping over box and people will call it insane or "revolutionary"
Are you the person from on3ps post that threw out the skis?
clindblomskierI'd be pissed at my parents for spending that much money on teaching me how to turn
surfaceoutsidersImagine paying that much to race lmao that's a double loss 🤡
I wouldn't be bothered personally, it means my parents have some money and my lifes gonna be pretty decent no matter what.
Biased retort being a coach myself but youth sport programs are really what the kids decide to do with themselves and if theyre as committed to getting good as much as their parents are willing to pay that much, then theyre gonna do just fine. I think its the kids who get thrown into ski teams as a giant daycare that end up being problem children, they dont really have the best homelives unfortunately so its a way for them to vent out and unfortunately some ski coaches really arent the listener motivator types.
Yeah a lot of them come from money and yeah these programs cost a lot but they help kids also become pretty community-first individuals and upstanding human beings along with being good skiers as long as theyre committed as well so writing off all ski team kids as just douchey rich kids is pretty unfair, A lot of them come from some pretty great families that just want their kids to be great skiers.
CharlzHubI guess you’re right that new creative features can be shit. But why don’t we still have shit like this?
Since comps are about technical ability and not creativity, most competitors would just opt to slide the red rail on the right and transfer to the hubba handrails, instead of trying some crazy combo that is actually interesting
Fisheye shots are stupid. I'm talking about actual fisheye - not ultra wide angles.
Fisheye just distorts the hell out of the shot and end up with a pointless black circle around your image, plus it makes whatever is in the shot so small you can't really even tell what's going on.
I just watched Jyosei and i thought it was underwhelming. The filming and editing was sick, but there was probably only 2 or 3 minutes worth of skiing in the 12 minute video
I liked the vx2000 comeback more when it was a niche thing. Nowadays it feels like every crew is doing it to stay relevant. Honestly makes it difficult to watch and figure out what’s going on, especially when they pixelate the hell out of the footage as if the edit was actually filmed in 1994.
a lot of movies in recent years just try too hard. it feels and looks fake. just be yourself and send it men and women.
90% of people I meet at film screenings are giant superficial plastic bags who pretend so hard to be ,,freeskiers/riders". they re brilliant gatekeepers and shit talkers but once you try to go skiing with them you realize they suck big ass. The ,,community" in my area stopped being a community a few years ago.

The first part of the edit with the pow shots and carving shots were lame as fuck. Yea they might not be traditional all-mt. skiers/typically ski park, but those were not good shots at all. Fucking hot tub landings and they were getting like two feet of air. The Blondes edit blew this one out of the water in that regard.
Not at all knocking on the urban shots because any urban shot takes a lot of work and skill to do. Also very very nice to see more female ski edits. So yea good work ladies!

Yes i was refraining from saying this, but the skiing wasnt great either. Knowing how rad and talented they are, i was a little let down
Extra fat pow skis are a marketing gimmick for people who can’t send or use their quads effectively. Like I get it if you’re always using them for steep and deep, but unless there’s 10+ inches of pow every time you’re going out you probably don’t need them.

RIP karma from here on out.
I skied brighton on bdogs and I'm about to ski jackson hole on magnuses
West: bigger mountains; better pow
East: more core/dedicated skiers (not saying west doesn’t have core skiers)
Similarities: Parks on East are just as good as our west if u know where to look
i feel that in some period of every skiier/snowboarders lives that they should switch sides of the country for riding for a period of time (East goes out west; west goes out east) and I don’t mean like a week trip I mean living there for like a year. Ofc that’s also if you get a chance to. Both sides of the country have unique skiier culture and I want to grow up and ski out west and see how it is out there (if I get the chance)

Yeah but that means i would have to live in the east. Sure maybe the ski culture would be interesting, but non-skiing east coast culture? 🤮

Yes yes, how could anyone stand to live in the most educated, historically relevant, and culturally progressive region of the country.
GrandThingsYes yes, how could anyone stand to live in the most educated, historically relevant, and culturally progressive region of the country.
Nah man I don’t think you get it. You East Coasters will never understand what it’s like to smoke gnarly amounts of kush outside the local In N’ Out. Fuckin tourist posers man they’re ruining the west. We just wanna smoke kush and listen to LA rappers (aka the only valid rappers lol you East Coast kids will never understand the vibes bro). I need to find a new Ron Jon sticker for my Subaru.

non skiing culture in rural Maine is basically trucks, hunting, and weed, are you talking about boston or something?

Most historically relevant and culturally progressive my ass. Way to just throw thousands of years of indigenous people's history and culture down the fucking toilet. In 1770, the California region's native population was an estimated 300,000. In New England? The Iroquois only had like 10,000 people, so my generous estimation is somewhere between 50-100,000. Much less significant. In 2005, California had the largest native population in the US. What about hundreds of years of Spanish and Portuguese exploration and settlement in the south and west? Almost the entire west and southwest is all named in Spanish or a similar dialect. I'd say that's pretty damn relevant.
Even to current standards, culturally progressive? Where was the first weed legalized? Texas and Oregon made the first steps toward legalization in 1973. 1978, New Mexico was the first state to consider weed 'medicinal.' San Francisco is considered the most transgender friendly. Everybody in the whole world knows at least two US states. California and New York. That must say something about the cultural presence of Cali, right?
Most educated? In what sense? Maybe by the shitty United States school system. The east has some of the oldest richest families and I would say (without doing any research I'll admit) that the general wealth of the east coast is greater than the west. So most of those people have no idea how it's like to live dirt poor. They have no idea the hardships that many people go through, so in that sense, they are uneducated. Yes, there are certainly poor regions in the east, but I imagine it's easy to completely avoid them. Sure, the east has some big name schools like Harvard, Princeton, and MIT, but the west does too, like UC Berkeley, Stanford, and Cal Tech. New York and Boston may be huge hubs of business, banking, and trade, but so are Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Finally, I see so many posts on here of people wondering which western college to go to, which western state or resort to move to, and have barely seen anyone ask the same thing about the east. Most relevant to this forum, where was the first terrain park? Bear Valley, California. In the west.
Sure, the east is very educated, has a very rich and developed history and culture, and has a huge significance in freeskiing, it is totally false and hand-wavy to claim it as the most of any of those things.
